[SOLVED] /etc/inittab configuration do not work

Postby jm-mga » May 25th, '12, 20:40

Hi,
I'm using Mageia 2 (32bits) in VirtualBox and need to make it boot on text mode with autologin to tty1.

In Mandriva i change /etc/inittab like this and it works.
Text Mode
id:3:initdefault:

Autologin
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --autologin servidor tty1

The text mode i made work adding init 3 option in the /boot/grub/menu.lst kernel parameters, but i would like to know why the id:3:initdefault: did not work.

Any idea how can make this work?

Thanks!

Sir, you could study a little bit before asking questions.
Your answers:

Text mode
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
Look for: How do I change the default runlevel to boot into?

Autologin
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd#How_do_I_set_automatic_login_on_a_virtual_console_terminal.3F


Sorry for the joke, but i need to make it...
After a hard thinking i remember of the Release Notes and the systemd change.
